Hi Bevan,

You don't seem to have a contact on your website to report bugs in the software.

The flight planning side of things is currently better than Ozrunways (my opinion). However when you setup a new aircraft (Bell 412 in my instance) and enter all the fuel burn rates, when you goto the table that calculates endurance etc the "holding column'' calculates the fuel burn at the cruise fuel and not the holding fuel burn rate as manually entered in the aircraft data?

Contrary to your previous post, it still does use the cruise fuel flow for holding calculations. With helicopter operations the small difference can be a go no-go decision. Then you have to manually calculate it on paper which then defeats the purpose of having planning software.

Any ideas?

** Also is it possible to add a column for approach fuel allowances? ie many ops manuals have a given amount of fuel to be used for each approach (much like a taxi fuel etc).

** With regard to the AIP section, is it possible to have an index with quicklinks to the section rather than having to bookmark pages?
